School Committee The Lexington School Committee consists of a group of inter- ested townspeople who meet regularly to plan for improve- ments and changes in our present educational system, Through their foresight and careful planning, we of Lexing- ton High School have been fortunate to have the newest facilities and teaching methods. Continual progress is their motto and through the past few years many changes have been made to keep Lexington’s school system at a very high standard. This committee represents a “‘first’’ in educational prog- ress, for it was the first such group in the history of Massa- chusetts, having its beginnings in 1821. It was through the efforts of this body that the law was passed requiring a school committee in every Massachusetts town. Thus, well over a century ago, Lexington was proving herself a leader in education. To the Members of the Class of 1956: Congratulations to you all on graduating from high school. May you find good friends, pleasant times, good health and success in your endeavors in the days that lie ahead. Moa ford eee Manfred L. Warren, Principal B.A., Bowdoin College M.A., Columbia University In. Memoriam Lancelot B. Cooper Lexington Fligh School 19421955 In thoughtful and heartfelt memory we pay tribute to one of us who was a great friend, coach, and teacher. The lesson he lived for us in good sportsmanship, dignified living, and serious purpose will be one we will follow throughout our lives and will remain a part of the heritage that only Lexington High School can pass on to the future.

Building for democracy Marie Crosby and Sally Martin put democracy into practice. Education and democracy go hand in hand, for educated citizens are necessary in a country ruled by the will of the people. Lexington, home of the first normal school, has always been a leader in education, a fact apparent by her excellent school system. We, the students of Lexington High, are most fortunate to have such modern facilities with which to work. Our building is still very new, but improvements are already underway with work progressing on two new addi- tions. Coupled with these improvements is the constant progress in democratic training given to Lexington High pupils. Student gov- ernment, with class chairmen able to learn the skills of leadership at first hand, is a very direct way of enabling us to understand the civic duties and responsibilities which will be placed upon us in the near future. Thus, it can be seen that Lexington is leading in edu- cation by sensibly building for democracy. Expanding our facilities Modern architecture echoes modern ideas. Peace through understanding Worker at Adams Press explains his work to Lia Frede, Sue Quick, and Meredith Pike. A vital part of our modern society is better intercultural relations, for in every phase of our daily life one can see the necessity of understanding our neighbors in all parts of the world. For two years Lexington has been fortunate to have a foreign exchange student attending high school. This year, Lia frede, a member of our senior class, who comes from Hanover, Germany, has taught us a great deal about life in her native land. At the “International Ball,’’ sponsored by Prom- Manaders, foreign students, representing many parts of Europe and Asia, enjoyed an evening of fun with us and provided enter- taining music and dances from all corners of the earth. In the meanwhile Lia has been busy learn- ing our American ways of life and is shown here with her hostess, Susan Quick and Mere- dith Pike touring the Adams Press, home of the “Minuteman.” Meredith glimpsed Ger- many and parts of France last summer while vacationing under the American Field Service plan. Through such exchange programs we of Lexington High are learning to understand and appreciate cultures different from our own, bringing us another step closer to our aim of lasting peace. Japanese entertainer at the “International Ball.” “Hello! My name's .... What's yours?” Bill Baskin with a goose he bagged Developing good sportsmanship among our classmates seems as necessary for achieving responsible leaders as improving our intercultural relations or learning our civic duties. Sports are encouraged as a means to accomplish this aim and Lexington High is proud of her sports stars. Among them are Dave Cheever, awarded the K. of C. football award; Jean Gilman, recognized as New England breast stroke champion; Bill Baskin, shown with a goose he bagged; and our cross-country stars, Ed Martin, “Spike” the K. of C. trophy.

Realizing that a healthy body is necessary to'a strong and an active mind, our school has taught her students good sportsmanship, successfully proving that cth- letics plays an important role in building fair and respon- sible citizens.

Norris In the fields of science and mathematics Lexington has again shown her progressive spirit by introducing the ‘Lexington Plan.” This idea, conceived by Arthur D. Little, Inc., of Cam- bridge with the help of the local school committee is an experiment planned to give our students a broader and more vital science education. Under this new plan, two new college graduates with degrees in science will fill one teacher's position next year. One of the two will teach the first half of the year and his alternate, the second half. When each scientist is not teaching, he will work at Arthur D. Little, Inc. Technically trained men are thus given a chance to contribute to scientific research, while also playing a part in educating our country’s youth and helping to curb the acute shortage of technical and scientific manpower in America today. Thus Lexington is again proving herself a leader in education. 15 this technological world F. Fischer, E. Martin, J. Barraford What will it be? ... J. Serventi, D.

To the students and teachers, the yearbook is an instrument through which many wonder- ful memories are recorded and the relation- ship of the school to our community is shown, but to the staff it means much more. As we look at the book, we see not only the pictures and writeups but also the last minute panic and confusion of deadlines, or the conster- nation over pages that just would not bal- ance of their own accord. As these pictures flash through our minds, we realize. how challenging the production of a yearbook is, and that all our near “disasters” add just that much more personality to the book for us. On the pleasanter side of our memories, we recall the wealth of historical material our town gave us to work out our theme “Lexington Firsts’’ and the zealous drive to sell our “bigger and better” books which could never have been put out without the much appreciated efforts of Miss Kinley and Mr. Moyle, our advisors.

Under the capable leadership of Sue Wells, the president, they performed many things which will be of lasting value to our school. The “L” Club will soon be started, for the council has purchased a beautiful blue-bound book with gold lettering, to contain a lasting record of those who have won a letter for two years’ participation in one sport. The Student Council was also responsible for a $100 dona- tion which kept Spotlight out of debt. As usual, the Student Council’s biggest money-making project—selling candy, coke, and programs at sports functions—was a great success. With money raised from this project, a dance, and dona- Meredith Pike, a senior, who went abroad this summer under the American Field Service Plan, puts up a poster tions from many town organizations, they were able to give ‘ : aE sf F Y A announcing this year's trip. the students of Lexington High the experience of knowing a student from Germany, our senior Lia Frede.

The Lexington High School Chapter of the National Honor Society was extremely active under the guidance of Miss Murray. Primarily a service organization, the group served as guest greeters for school, ushers for P.T.A. functions, and were hosts to the Belmont chapter of National Honor Society where exchange of ideas was beneficial. A sizeable scholarship was awarded to a worthy non-member of the society from several fund raising activities. The Student-Faculty Basketball game, a food sale in November, and a pencil vending maching greatly increased the treasury for this purpose. Other highlights for the year were the induction ceremonies for incoming members in February, the party held at the final meeting in June, and the Annual National Honor Society Scholarship Competition in which five mem- bers participated.

Spanish songs, games, films, and skits fill the meetings with enjoyment for all. The biggest success which “Los Amigos” had this year was the annual Spanish Christmas supper. This year’s was the best supper ever held by the Spanish Club and was attended by about seventy-five members and friends, who enjoyed a student-prepared full course Spanish supper including hamburg with chile sauce and tortillas. The big moment of the ‘‘fiesta” came when Mr. Knight, the guest of honor, broke the pinata, sending gifts helter-skelter to the floor. The members of Art Club have enjoyed many field trips this year. On the first of these trips, in early October, inter- ested members visited Mr. Ripley, a commercial artist, at his home. Then, also, the Art Club spent two very enjoyable afternoons at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln. Throughout the year, members of the Art Club have contributed many colorful posters to help arouse school spirit and to ad vertise school activities. When Mr. Ramsdell left for a new position this year, the Art Club was very fortunate to receive the talented and well-liked Mr. Mann as their new advisor. Mr. Mann has contributed much to help the Art Club attain its goal of service to the school and added interest and enjoy- ment for its members. Art Club Second row: J. Snyder, N. Randall, P.

French Clubs The Freshman-Sophomore French Club has been newly organized this year under the direction of Miss Gauche and has shown its popularity by boasting forty members. The club’s purpose is to further the understanding of its members in the language, customs, and ideas of the French-speaking people. In our attempt to best achieve this aim, we led a very successful year. The Junior-Senior French Club spent a profit- able and enjoyable year, thanks to the var- ied and worth-while programs presented by the program committee. The Constitution was discussed at the first meeting and refresh- ments were supplied by president, Brinna Baird. In the ensuing meetings, such things as games, movies, and speakers were enjoyed by all. The club also sponsored a food sale to raise funds for its gala cabaret. Fourth row: J. Sanserverino, B.

The story is one of mystery, intrigue and romance, taking place in Fifteenth Century England. As the story goes, Colonel Fairfax, a scientist who has been falsely accused of sorcery, has been sentenced to death. The whole situation was caused by Fair- fax’s cousin, Sir Clarence Poltwhistle, . vho would fall heir to the wealth of e accused man. Sergeant Meryll, a Yeoman of the ‘ard, or so-called ‘beefeater’’ is in ‘pathy with Fairfax and realizes that prisoner is not guilty.

These writers have assigned duties which are outlined in a newly established style sheet. “Spotlight” has a new look, too. The banner cut and a head- line top the four pages of news, feature articles, anecdotes, jokes, and sports highlights. Also, an “Exchange Column,” which includes things of interest from other school papers, has been added. A financial committee, which assumes the duty of making suggestions for increasing circulation and for sponsoring fund-raising activities, has also been formed. All together, this has been a successful year of complete overhauling in order to establish a set pattern for future years. team how we ap} Thanksgiving. rooms which wi and social studies, hall, and a_ ge This wing will h students. ee shareeee te mae Second row: Miss Smith, W.

Assembly Committee The Assembly Committee, with Hallie MacDonald and Dick Arnold as co-chairmen, planned all the assemblies for the year. The Committee included in their programs, pep rallies, sports assemblies and, special programs for the holidays. Traffic officers were also supplied for the assemblies. The most important function of the Committee was the planning and rehearsal of the morning exercises given over the public address system every Monday morning. The efforts of the entire Committee helped to make the school year a good one. Football Programs Committee Third row: R. Arnold, S. Paranya, K. Barclay. Second row: M. McAuliffe, E. Nottebart, S.

The Football Program Committee had a big year this fall. The sale of candy, cake, hot dogs, potato chips, confetti, and football programs was profitable to the Committee. With a crew of ten members we feel the Committee will grow still larger and help to keep the bleacher members of the games happy and well-fed. 55 Third row: L. Kinsman, P. DeSimone, J. Fopiano, E.

These students volunteer from one to five of their free periods each week to assist Mrs. Creamer in keeping the library running smoothly. Some of their duties include checking books in and out and keeping an accurate record of the attendance. Thanks to this group the school can be proud of its Memorial Library. Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club, one of our most active groups this year had a very successful program. The meetings were planned so that each month a different phase of dramatics was ex- plored. An example would be pantomime; Mrs. Leary, a dramatic expert and former actress, spoke to us and showed us various methods. The following meeting, using what we had learned, we acted in small extemporaneous panto- mimes. Other fields which we learned about were dialogue, makeup, and sound effects in staging a play. The Club also went to the Doyle-Carte production of “lolanthe” in Dec- ember and later made their field trip the subject of an interesting discussion at one of the regular meetings. Fourth row: G.

The senior Thespians were shown to perfection in the skillful dramatization of the plight of Marge and Herbert Gage (Linda Grush and David Copithorne) after they had moved into a house, in which Matilda and Jonathan Rockwood (Beverly Brown and David Warren) believed dead, have the right to live “til the day they die.” The Rockwood couple, however, are not dead and they return, accompanied by their wayward son (Robert Allen). Their intentions to move into : the house upset everyone, especially the maid (Lia Frede), everyone, that is except the : Gage’s younger daughter (Joyce Beaulieu), who thoroughly enjoys the novelty of the : experience. The unraveling of the plot involves bringing live pigs on the stage and a : realistic snow storm, both incidents which added to the delights of the audience and the un of the evening. Mrs. Jodie Cooney, our able director, deserves our sincere. thanks for accomodating Carols around the annual Christmas tree, which was first introduced to the United States in 1824 by Dr. Charles Follen, a Lexington minister. Yeoman of the Guard On March 23 and 24, ‘“Yeomen of the Guard,” a rollicking musical, was presented by Lexington High School under the direction of Mrs. Sandberger. Everyone who helped stage this successful performance and those who attended it really enjoyed themselves. As the story begins, Colonel Fairfax, falsely accused of sorcery, has been sentenced to death. The confusing situation was caused mainly by Fairfax’s cousin, Sir Clarence Polts- whistle, who would fall heir to the wealth of the accused man. The unravelling of this complicated musical was carried out in true Gilbert and Sullivan style and proved to be one of the best operettas yet produced by L. H. S. Second row: E. Martin, D.

Advanc- ing the members’ knowledge of science, the Club has shown movies, conducted field trips to such interesting places as the MIT Elec- tronic Computer, and invited Mr. and Mrs. Gaposchkin to address the Club. The high point of the science year was the annual Club-sponsored Science Fair held in March in which students competed for top honors and prizes.

The members operate such teaching aids as the motion picture projectors, film strip projec- tors, opaque delineascope, tape recorder, record players, and the excellent public ad- dress system in the school.

Junior Red Cross The activities of the Junior Red Cross Council have been directed towards helping people in our community and abroad. In the fall fifty gift boxes were filled and sent overseas. At Christmas the members made stockings for the Veteran’s Hospital in Bedford. Members of the Council also volunteered to help at Blood Donation Days at the various churches in Lexington. The Council’s main project for the spring was the packing of a large chest filled with school and athletic supplies and medical kits, which will be sent to help our needy neighbors in another part of the world. Through such projects, the Council has been able to render service to the underprivileged persons in many areas. Third row: D. Crumb, L. Kinsman, S$. Whitcomb, G. Munroe, C. Rowland, S. Steele, L.

Under the leadership of Mr. Adzigian, the advisor, and the captains, Joyce Beaulieu and Dick Arnold, the new rule of “free passage,” established early in the year, has been carried out very success- fully. This group should be given credit for being on the job whenever they were needed. Second row: Mr. Adzigian, R. Howes, R. Arnold, T. Heath, D. Yeakel. First row: N. Murphy, M. Crowley, R. Arnold, J.

This year, besides a small milk cart which was set up to speed service, an ice cream cart was also managed by this group. 68 ° Cc ° x= ee ° a o ec o x= i Zz ww a - 4 © bhi —_ = = a inv =x - Organized Bedlam!

This year’s football team, noted for its tremendous drive and never-say-die spirit, are to be commended for their outstanding effort in the face of a rainy, discouraging season. We will always remember how, in the season’s opener with Belmont, the team scored the winning touchdown with only seconds of play left. Also memorable was the exciting win over Stoneham, with the team managing to hold Stoneham on the one-foot line when the final whistle blew. In later games with Punchard, Needham, and Reading, the boys fought hard and well, but a series of unlucky breaks caused the team to be an “almost” ball club in these games. Then, as a climax to its rugged season, the team put up a terrific battle against its powerful rival Concord, and proved that in spirit and effort it was Concord’s equal. Throughout the season, the boys enjoyed working together, and gained the virtues of cooperation and sportsmanship offered in football.

The offensive players, Joan Kelley, Jan Porter, Sue Chaffee, and Mary Ann White, became expert at field goals. The guards harassed the opposition, being quick to intercept the ball. Every game, with the exception of one, was close and the girls fought hard up to the last minute. The Winchester and Arlington games were the most exciting for spec- tators to watch, since the scores were tied practically all the way. Janice Porter was high scorer for the season.

Junior Varsity 74 The basketball team started the season with great poten- tial, beating Natick in a thriller long to be remembered. After a few heartbreaking losses to more experienced teams, the boys came into their own by knocking both Con- cord and Reading out of second place in the same week. No one will forget the exciting Reading game which was finally won by George Moore's spectacular shot during a “sudden death” period. Spearheading the team was the senior six of Bob McNamara, Charlie McCarthy, out some of the season with an injured leg, Jack Vance, Bill Hardy, and co-captains Ed Martin and George Moore. A signifi- cant contribution was made by the underclassmen who demonstrated exceptional spirit and skill throughout the season.

A unique combination of ability, teamwork, determination, and excellent coaching has produced a fighting squad noted for its unyielding attack on the opposition. Against such mighty rivals as Malden Catholic and Natick, the team demonstrated their top-notch spirit and aggressive play.

Field Hockey Under the top-notch coaching of Doris Leavitt, the girls’ Field Hockey team developed fine passwork and endurance which led them on to a successful season. The three-year varsity goalie, Joan Kelley, let only one goal pass into the cage. The forward line was all new to the varsity team except left-winger, Sue Chaffee. The defense made up of four veterans plus Brinna Baird and Lois Rowe, displayed outstanding skills with victories at Arlington, Watertown, and Belmont. This team could not be defeated until the last minute of season play at Concord when the only point made by opposition was scored. Third row: J. Kelley, M. Wood, A. Kaufmann, S. MacDonald, D.

The six veterans were a great encouragement to the newcomers. Practicing hard regularly and meeting their opponents with a winning spirit helped to give each match the added excitement of close compe- tition and the thrills of well-played games. A group of enthusiastic girls with endless energy and ability turned out for this year’s softball team. The girls had a successful sea- son under Coach Leavitt. With the assistance of experienced veterans, Janice Porter, Sue Chaffee, Joan Kelley, Brenda Boleyn, and Mary Ann White, the girls practiced hard and turned out some exciting games for their spectators. The Junior Varsity squad also had a commendable season and gave promise of a bright future. Softball Third row: M. White, B. Pacifici, M. Siekman, R. Cobham, J. Mac Donald. Second row: D.

With a profitable season in view, the boys moved on to the diamond filled with en- thusiasm and determination. Their spirited play combined with the valuable guidance of Coach Adzigian helped to make the Lexington nine a top competitor in the close Middle- sex League race. Prospects for next year are bright when one considers the talented underclassmen who added much to the team’s victories. Baseball “Headliners” Mr. Moyle, a loyal Dodger fan, has the last laugh. 80 With all the members coming back this year, the Golf team looked forward to a very successful season. The team is part of the central division of the Greater Boston League and plays its home games at the Lexington Country Club. The game of golf requires a great deal of individual skill in which this year’s team seemed to be stronger than past teams. The team, coached by Mr. Coffin, turned out to be a strong contender for the division championship. J. Day, R. Maxon, B. Boleyn, Mr. Coffin, W. Hodadon, W. Evans. Golf Team Tennis [eam Second row: E.

A relatively new team at Lex- ington, the tennis team, with outstanding action, skill, and fight, proved their ability to the dismay of many of their more experienced opponents. The boys managed to keep more than their own with such powerful rivals as Winchester and Wellesley. With the rapidly growing interest in this sport, much inspiration can be obtained from this year's tennis team. ' ‘ PY RANG) iG }, Second row: M. Conant (manager), L. Ryan, B. Burnham, R. Stoico, J.

Track This year’s Track Team lacked the depth to make it a dual meet power but overshadowed this by competing very successfully in the big track meets where its three State Champs, Paul Engborg, Eddie Martin, and Spike Paranya led the way with their performances in the broad jump, 440, and 880. Other key men on Coach Helin’s team this year were Barry Greenlaw in the broad jump, Ralph Hoxie in the mile, Don Legro in the dashes, and Steve Hall in the half mile. Cross Country This year’s Cross Country Team under the watchful eye of Coach Gittzus continually ran away from its opposition, and by the season’s end was undefeated in dual meets, winning the Pilgrim League Division title, as well as placing third in Class C of the State Meet. Mainstays for the team, which compiled the best record for Lexington teams this year, were Eddie Martin and Ralph Hoxie (co-captains), and Spike Paranya. Martin and Paranya, representing the team at Storrs, Conn., in the New England Cross Country Championships, placed ninth and fifteenth respectively. Second row: R. Crowley, D. Coomber, M.

Class of 1957 Now when our junior year is coming to a close, let’s look back and recall the highlights of this our third year in Lexington High. Early in the fall we started making plans for the year with the help of our officers: Dick Lee, president; Ken Barclay, vice-president; Ann Mahoney, secretary; and Marsha Patch, treasurer. In Student Council our class was well represented by Pat Bradford, Spike Paranya, Ken Barclay, Hallie MacDonald, George Lynah, Jim Day, and Marie Harrington. As for musical activities, our class also showed great interest. In addition to being mem- bers of the Junior-Senior Glee Club, eight ambitious girls formed a junior octet called “The Belles.” We always saw Pat Bradford, another of our classmates with the band, for again this year she was head mgoorette. In athletics the juniors made another good showing. One of our best athletes was Spike Paranya, recognized for his speed in cross-country. After placing fourth in the Mass. State Meet, Steve was allowed to compete in the New England Cross Country Meet at Storrs, Conn., and won a medal by placing fifteenth. We were also proud to have Andrea Viano a member of the varsity cheering squad. In order to build up our treasury, our class sponsored various projects. Selling candy at the operetta and sponsoring a food sale were two successful ventures. Later in the spring we held the most gala event of the year, the Junior Prom. Everyone had an enjoyable time helping on the different committees connected with the dance. Looking back over the year, we remember the classroom discussions, the activities we participated in, and the friends we made. Our class, the “first” one which will complete four years in the new high school feels that this year has proved rewarding and very enjoyable. Room 15 Third Row: W. Fletcher, R. Crowley, J. Day, W.

Class of 1958 Our spirit still high, the sophomore class has passed through another active and happy year at Lexington High School. During the school year the sophomores were well repre- sented in almost all of the extra-curricular activities. We helped to plan assemblies, were monitors in the lunchroom, and worked on the library staff for the benefit of the entire school. A French Club was organized for the first year students, and through French movies and speakers, we gained a better understanding of the language. For their own enjoy- ment, eight of our girls formed a vocal octet in which they had good:times together. Under the leadership of Murray Ingraham, Pat Cutter, Peter Lappin, Bo Chu, and Dave Adzigian, who were our Student Council members, and our four capable class officers: Bill Tappley, president; Peter Lappin, vice-president; Mary Ann Sainato, secretary; and Carolyn Sweeney, treasurer, our class planned and accomplished several worthwhile projects which were enjoyed by us and by the whole school. We were also proud to have five of our girls on the varsity cheering squad. Mary Ann Sainato, Carolyn Sweeney, Judi Porter, Bunny Kensley, and Pat Cutter did a splendid job stirring up enthusiasm at the pep rallies and at the games. Sheila Cass, a peppy sophomore majorette, helped to lead the band, in which many of our classmates participated, through well-precisioned perfor mances during the year. Sophomores also contributed to the good sportsmanship and spirit of the school by playing on the football, basketball, hockey, base- ball, and tennis teams. Now that we have completed our second year of high school, we enjoy looking back and remembering its highlights—the games, the classes, and the clubs, all of which added up to one of our favorite expressions, a “terrific year!” Room 112 Third Row: J.

Class of 1959 Dear Readers, You wanted to know what we were doing in school this year, so here goes! We're freshmen and in our first year in the senior high school. As it was necessary to learn our way around this new building, the first few days of school were difficult, but certainly exciting ones. Soon, however we were settled and became interested in the many different school ac- tivities. What greatly impressed us was the tremendous spirit shown at the pep rallies. Early in the year our class chose ten cute and peppy girls as cheerleaders. Those elected were Bonnie Currie, Captain; Susan Steele, Charlotte Tropeano, Betty Ann Simon, Ruth Morash, Pat DeSimone, Janet Ross, Diane Emerson, Lorraine Murray, and Sandra Spears. To be sure, these girls did their best to cheer our class teams on to victory. Some of our outstanding freshmen boys in sports are Henry Hogan, Mark Jenson, Bruce Hardy, and Paul Bentley. Being anxious to have a voice in the Student Council, we selected Jean Macphee, David Bennett, and Barry Spears as our representatives. Also we elected our class officers: Ho Chu as president, Richard Chapman as vice-president, Nancy Baird as secretary, and Judy King as treasurer. We are certain that with such capable leaders, our class will go far. A special privilege that our freshman class is enjoying is being able to study French. As previous ninth graders have not had this opportunity, it is certainly another “first” in Lex- ington schools. With such a marvelous start, we think you will agree with us that our class has many bright aspects for a happy and successful future in Lexington High School.

Rist 103 On Our Way With such a rich heritage of bravery, courage, and deter- mination to our town’s credit, we, the future citizens of Lexington, have a great responsibility to uphold these high standards. “From Lexington to Liberty” is a motto which brings out our aims and our desire for continual progress. Thus, the members of the “Class of 1956” and our com- panions in Lexington High hope that in the future we shall be worthy representatives of our town and its spirit as we go on our way.
